rnam,

Maybe it is invisible...or something...but I think through the years I've brought up AJ Gallagher and Brown and Brown about 375 times on the Berkshire boards. Gets an occasional reply but that's about it.

There was this financial marketing stock, then CarMax, the the Dollar...and of course on the old board the Amazon and Tesla/Bezos and Musk obsessions that dominate all forums just as Cisco and Intel did 25 years ago.

The Berkshire board is like all other forums in that it has a very short attention span and VERY short outcome focused perspective. That's why, no matter what, the board will have a very few focused on buy/hold while the dominant theme will be generally one poster's in's-and-out's of whatever the current obsession is.

The COBF forum is longer term, still too short for my perspective, but many times longer that Jim's quickie trades. That's the theme here.

I far preferred Manlobbi's "steadfast" writings, I just couldn't fathom the math and "let's ignore the facts" of BPY and so I spoke up about it and you know what that means. The thing that's really cool about COBF is that there is not a dominant poster, the likes are not the theme, and thus? Well, you'll do a lot better if you participate in such a forum as that rather than get in the grunge of popularity needs, the daily need to get the likes rules here.
